About This Show

Travel down the rabbit hole MOMIX-style with Moses Pendleton’s newest creation, ALICE, inspired by Alice in Wonderland. As Alice’s body grows and shrinks and grows again, Pendleton’s dancers extend themselves by means of props, ropes, and other dancers.

A magical journey inspired by a classic. Under the visionary direction of Moses Pendleton, MOMIX is celebrated for its exceptional inventiveness and breathtaking physical beauty. For over 40 years, MOMIX has captivated audiences worldwide by transforming the human body with clever use of light, shadow, and props.

Their newest creation, Alice, draws inspiration from Lewis Carroll’s beloved classic, Alice in Wonderland. Prepare to be enchanted as MOMIX seamlessly blends illusion, acrobatics, magic, and whimsy to bring Alice’s fantastical journey to life. Watch as dancers embody Alice’s changing size, extending their forms with props, ropes, and the help of other performers.

Moses Pendleton shared his artistic approach, stating, “I don’t intend to retell the whole Alice story, but to use it as a taking off point for invention. I’m curious to see what will emerge, and I’m getting curiouser and curiouser the more I learn about Lewis Carroll, who, like me, was a devoted photographer.
